anybody looked at a tribeca suspension?
i am assuming its strut same as every other subey(virtually)
i wonder if they could be made to bolt into an svx?
the spring rate would be a nice bump over stock since the chewbacca is so heavy......


just wondering.......

You trying to build a SVX outback? I would think using them would raise your ride height.

I know that the rear suspension is a multi link or wishbone set up, like the newer Legacys and the new 08 WRX so i dought you would be able to use the rear components.

ouch !

shelfy got us with the details!!
LOL

as long as the tribeca has strut fronts i'm good for the svx rear ......
i need stiffish springs and additional ground clearance for rallying and i simply CANT afford aftermarket suspension right now.....a coil-over kit would be fine i guess but if i can find salvage yard pieces that can be made to work......

i'm pretty much settled on wrx fronts or even RS (thanks for the low-down benebob!)
but was curious about the tribeca set up......



ps........hey hocrest......whats with the local dealer website?

LOL

tryin to tell me to get off my lazy butt and check for myself eh!?!?

dont blame ya.....
i do tend to ask questions that could be answered through other media....


pps.......it sucks that hey are the ONLY game in town ......another case of dealers being out of touch with reality......

i didn't mean to get anyone and it took me a few beers to figure it out. chewbacca kinda sounds like tribeca. it would have made more sense to me it you called the b9t a chewbecca or tribacca.

i'd still go to bed with either one.
